Behind The Scenes of the New Kippt

Just over a week ago, I was presented with the opportunity to interview Karri Saarinen, co-founder and designer for Kippt. On the agenda for the interview was talking about the all new Kippt. With a team of two, from start to launch, the updated Kippt took around four to five months, with many iterations, challenges, and final results along the way. As with all ...
